About Trillion Energy
Trillion Energy International Inc. (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) is an oil and gas company focused on production in Europe and Türkiye. Trillion holds a 49% stake in the SASB natural gas field, one of the first and largest natural gas developments in the Black Sea.
The updated 3D seismic data for SASB provides a transformative view of Trillion's gas prospects in the field. The reprocessed data utilizes advanced seismic technology to unlock a clearer image of SASB's reservoir potential. The findings validate extensive channel sands, faults, reservoir layers and sweet spots for future drilling. For investors, the data signals exciting growth opportunities for Trillion in unlocking SASB's gas resources.
Revealing New Gas Channels & Sand Bodies
The enhanced 3D seismic imaging elucidates continuous reflectors, clearer fault cuts, and better preservation of subsurface amplitude. This permits sharper definition of SASB's gas channels, some thinly layered sand bodies, and validation of hydrocarbon presence via attributes like intercept gradients.
Significantly, the reprocessed data detects material new channelized sand bodies within SASB's D and De-E zones. CEO Arthur Halleran notes the "revelation of extensive channel sands...surpasses our earlier understanding of the field." The newly discovered thin sand reservoirs, combined with improved fault imaging, provides Trillion with tangible targets for future development.
Detecting Sweet Spots for Additional Prospects
Beyond confirmed resources, the updated seismic points to promising areas or "sweet spots" for further gas potential. Improved velocity modeling and AVO gradient analysis reinforces the seismic signal of gas presence across SASB reservoir zones. This enables Trillion to pursue new stratified prospects adjacent to existing discoveries.
As Halleran stated, "The excitement is palpable as we witness the emergence of previously unseen gas-charged sand channels throughout, setting the stage for a future defined by enhanced exploration success."
Legibility of Channel Sands & Layers
The reprocessed data delivers finer resolution of SASB's subsurface formations. This includes sharper definition of porous channel sands and better differentiation of thin reservoir layers. Trillion can now clearly trace sand bodies and utilize seismic inversion to quantify thickness changes.
By distinguishing thin beds and compartments within zones, Trillion can optimize development planning and apply advanced drilling techniques. The legibility of reservoir compartmentalization provides essential insight for production management.
Validation of Hydrocarbon Presence
In tandem with structural imaging, the updated seismic leverages AVO analysis to validate the presence of producible hydrocarbons. Techniques like fluid factor estimation and gas indicator modeling reinforce shows and accumulations spotted on logs. This confirmation gives Trillion further confidence to pursue stacked targets and fringe prospects.
As Halleran summarized, “Validation of the presence of hydrocarbons using different AVO attributes, such as intercepts, gradients, fluid factors, and gas indicators” de-risks Trillion's inventory of development leads for SASB.
Unlocking SASB's Gas Potential
SASB ranks among the first offshore Black Sea natural gas projects, with substantial discovered gas in place. However, the field's technical complexity has left significant resources untapped. Trillion's revised seismic data helps refine the picture, opening doors for the Company to unlock SASB's full potential.
By illuminating reservoir features and hydrocarbon indicators, the reprocessed 3D seismic de-risks Trillion's inventory of prospects. This paves the way for appraising bypassed zones, expanding productive areas, and adding reserves. For investors, it paints an exciting vision of what's now visible underneath SASB's surface and where Trillion may take one of the Black Sea's pioneering gas fields next.
